Previously, recent websites, and pinned websites would show on the Firefox Home / New Tab page. Now, it is completely blank, except for three rows of blank boxes, which are unresponsive, a search entry, which works, and a weather app with menu.

I've searched and searched for a solution, find limited cases previously, but no solutions.

Hi. I changed my default to Firefox but when I open a tab that darn Yahoo keeps coming up. I restarted my computer and everything. How can I get Firefox to be my search engine?

I usually use Nightly as my default browser in a Windows 11 system. Recently I started to get a new error message showing up when I try to select multiple messages in Yahoo e-mail. I select them by clicking on the first message, then holding down Shift and clicking on the last message in the range. That should turn on the selection boxes for all the messages between the two.

Now, when I press the Shift key, I get an error box right on top of where my mouse cursor is, so it interferes with me. The top of the box says "mail.yahoo.com", which is the web-site I'm signed in on. Then it has a link with the text "Login - Sign in to Yahoo". Below that is an ad for all the wonderful things I can get by signing in to Yahoo. At the bottom is an error message, "We can't generate key points for this webpage."

I tried the same action in the current General Release of Firefox, v140, and this does not happen. I suspect that this is an intrusion by some sort of AI software, but I don't know what setting might have been activated to turn this on. Does anyone have any idea how to turn it off?

Lately when composing an e-mail at gmail.com on my Firefox the attachment button is missing. As well all styling aids are missing (font, fontsize, bold... etc.). This problem does not arise, when using Chrome or Windows Edge instead Firefox. But I sure want to stay with Firefox.

Firefox version 140.4.0 Windows 11

Thank you

Any time I allow a website to use my location on my home computer, it places me in a suburb in Las Vegas. However, I live near Seattle. This happens on multiple websites including Google Maps and Uber Eats, and on other browsers my location is correct. I'm not running any VPNs or proxy servers, I've verified that my IP address is linked to my correct location, and I've deleted all cache and cookies ("Everything" for time frame) from my history. Is there a way I can have an accurate location again?

I am trying to recover my bookmarks/passwords/settings after a recent crash but when I sign into my mozilla account where I had everything synced, I get the default bookmarks. I have tried all of the backup options in the forums and searched my pc in AppData and my profiles are no longer there.

Is there a way to restore my synced data from a few days ago?

Every time I change the settings in the image attached, once I close the browser, the settings are reversed back. My changes do not persist if Firefox closes or my PC turns off. My other settings persist when I make changes. I only get this error when I try to edit the Privacy settings.

What is causing this, and how can I stop it?

Windows 11 Home Firefox up to date with 140.0.4 (64-bit)

Old computer crashed....so lost all my bookmarks and their folders. Now in Windows 11 and I can make bookmarks for my Fox toolbar but I can't find where I can created folders for my bookmarks. Can I still do it and if so how?

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with YouTube video playback in Firefox. When I watch a video in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode and then close the PiP window, the video automatically pauses on the main tab in the browser.

My expectation is for the video to continue playing in the background tab after the PiP window is closed, similar to how it works, for example, in Opera GX browser.

I have already tried changing the media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.pause-on-disable setting to false in about:config, but this did not resolve the issue. The video still pauses.

I believe it would be a significant convenience if Firefox allowed videos to continue playing in the background rather than pausing them when the PiP window is closed.

Is there any way to fix it?

After exporting bookmarks.html from Ffox on old computer, importing it to Ffox on the new one, all good, except that bookmarks toolbar shows on the imported list but doesn't display as toolbar.

Hi Mozilla Community,

I’ve been experiencing some issues with video playback on Firefox, specifically on YouTube. Videos seem to always play in a choppy manner, no matter the quality settings. I’ve tried clearing the cache and updating Firefox, but the issue persists. I’ve also checked my internet speed, and it's stable, so I'm not sure where the problem lies.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on what might be causing the choppy playback or how to fix it?

To give some context, I was also recently looking at how efficient high-speed trains operate around the world, and came across a fascinating comparison of the top 10 fastest trains in India. Just like video streaming, maintaining high performance and smooth operation is key — it made me realize how even small optimizations in streaming might have a big impact on the experience.

I appreciate any help or insights from the community!

Thank you!

Is there a way to permanently set sorting from A-Z? When I open a file & go to site, I then have to reset sorting within the folder when I go back. Using down arrow sends me to the next folder. Have been Mozilla user for decades but didn't open account until recently. Always set to my default, even on latest PC, in conjunction with other programs. Don't like Microsoft programs.

Guess I probably owe Mozilla a donation but have tight budget, as Sr. on Social Security. Maybe I can contribute a small amount if that would help?? Don't want a subscription. Can't afford it.
